As Arabs, the Israeli invasion of Palestine which was half a century ago has always been our affair that we never succeeded to solve, but least we know is that this movement, also known as Zionism, was a Jewish goal that was desired for more than 100 years.
In 1890, Nathan Birnbaum created the term ‘Zionism’. It’s the nationalist movement of Jews that supports establishing a Jewish country in the territory of Israel. From the beginning, Zionism supported real aims. Jews of all beliefs, whether left, right, religious, or secular worked together to form the Zionist movement and achieve its goals.
The Jews were powerless, for they didn’t have a country that can be considered their national home. According to Zionist ideology, they were “guests

The fourth Aliya endured from 1924 to 1929 or 1932 and comprised in huge piece of Polish Jews who were motivated to come to Palestine by the anti-zionist regime and the new movement standards imposed in the United States. The fourth Aliya is for the most part considered to have finished in 1929, after Arab demonstrations in Jerusalem appeared to show that settlement in Palestine was not a safe solution for Jews, or in 1932, after which immigrants started originating from Nazi Germany in expansive numbers. Around 60,000- 70,000 Jewish settlers came to Palestine in this period.(watzman et al., …show more content…
In Western eyes Palestine was a country without a nation, as Lord Shaftesbury wrote. Early Zionists did not concern themselves about the existing residents. many were impacted by utopianism. In the nineteenth century, they were making a Jewish ideal world, where an antiquated individuals would be restored. They imagined a land without strife, where all national and monetary issues would be solved by good will, tolerant and progressive policies and technological proficiency . Herzl's land was indeed simply such a perfect world. Jewish populace developed, however Arab populace developed more quickly. By 1914 there were more than 500,000 Arabs in
Introduction Throughout World War 2 Germany was living and thriving in a sea of repression. Hitler and his followers blamed the Jewish for many things that had gone wrong during World War 1 and the germans believed that the Jewish needed to be punished for that. Nazi’ started forcing the Jewish out of their houses, stealing their valuables, transporting them in overpacked transport cars, relocating them to concentration camps, and it is at those concentration camps where they were starved, beaten, and destroyed. Before all of these actions were able to happened Hitler’s SS officers had to be trained to repress the Jewish and it is from that point of view that you should “read” my documents. In Elie Wiesel’s book “Night” we were told that the reason that the Jewish did not fight back was because they could not believe that human beings could do such things and that is why I chose to write my documents from the view of a SS officer who is completing his training and learning how to treat the Jewish.
In 1917, the British defeated the Ottomans and occupied Palestine . This promise was later incorporated into the mandate that was granted to Britain by the League of nations in 1922. During their mandate from 1922 to 1948, the British found that their contradictory promises to Jews and Palestinian Arabs were difficult to reconcile. The Zionists envisioned opening emigration on a large-scale and some spoke of a Jewish state encompassing all Palestine.
In November of 1917 a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. This resolution caused anger amongst Arab community they believed Palestine would be a free Arab State. This declaration was made for one to influence US Jewish businessmen in supporting war. The Jewish population continued to support Russian involvement,
“Jews, listen to me! I can see fired! There are huge flames! It is a furnace!” (Wiesel, 23).

Imagine watching your beloved hometown being captured by your worst enemy. All the things that you love, being stripped of you one by one. Forced to wear a gold star just because of your religion, and being beat up and mistreated by your fellow neighbors. Sadly, this was just the beginning. As time continued on ghettos where the Jews’ new home.
This was the life of the Jewish people at this
They could never become organized enough to be seen as a true treat by the Zionists. What is important to know is Israel and Palestine are both the same thing it just matters whose views are focused on. War has caused the Palestinians to have a loss in identity because they has been removed from where they feel they belong and they are culturally separated by tribe like organization. The Palestinian religious views are extremely similar to the Arabs.
There have been numerous implications of the Aliyah, the first one being that the immigration of the Jewish people to the Middle East has caused clashes with other groups in the region. This is important to us today because all of the clashes that started due to Jewish immigration are still happening today in our current year. - Note: The first Aliyah was 1882 to 1903 while the second was 1904-1914 o These both brush up close to our limit of dates for this assignment and there are many more Aliyahs to talk about, thus it would not be possible to talk about the repercussions of them while remaining in our given time period. Is this ok?
The Nazi crusade against the Jewish race is referred to as the Holocaust. This is particularly due to the anti-Semitism that was widespread throughout Europe and the German leaders who sought a ‘final solution of the Jewish question’ by a programme of killing every Jew in Germany. Therefore, “between autumn of 1939 and the autumn of 1941”, as Christian R. Browning argues, “Nazi Jewish policy escalated rapidly from the pre-war policy of forced emigration to the final solution.” However, there here is no agreement amongst scholars regarding the Holocaust and the same body of evidence is used by historians to reach different interpretations. The two schools of thought, known as the functionalist and internationalist provide a conflicting debate
Yesterday night Mr. Curt Bell came to Salem Lutheran Church to present upon “Why Palestinian Rights Matter to Me and You” with a Q&A session following afterwards. Mr. Bell, a retired neuroscientist, is now an advocate for social justice in Palestine and, in a greater sense, an advocate for peace. Being born in Bahrain then going to high school in Beirut, Lebanon Mr. Bell was able to experience various cultures an interact with people of different ethnic groups. After going to Jerusalem, Bell had a firsthand encounter in seeing the “overcrowded, smelly and sad’” Palestinian camps which lay on the outside of the holy city. From seeing the horrors of the camps, Mr. Bell took initiative to act.
After surviving the horrors of the systematic extermination of six million Jewish people during Hitler’s reign during the Holocaust. The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel will cite these atrocities. “Survivors of the Nazi holocaust in Europe, as well as Jews from other parts of the world, continued to migrate to Eretz-Israel, undaunted by difficulties, restrictions and dangers, and never ceased to assert their right to a life of dignity, freedom and honest toil in their national homeland. In the Second World War, the Jewish community of this country contributed its full share to the struggle of the freedom- and peace-loving nations against the forces of Nazi wickedness and, by the blood of its soldiers and its war effort, gained the right to be reckoned among the peoples who founded the United Nations.” (Proclamation of Independence)
After World War II, the Zionist State, Israel was founded on the land that partly owned by Palestinians. The newly created state served as a home country for the Jewish people. After what had happened under the rule of the Nazis, Jewish people all over the world agreed to reform
This is a good argument because the israelis are a stateless
Israel had lost many of its war planes and tanks. It was time for Israel’s special weapon—the reserves. Up to the front went our gardener, Sadok the Yemenite from Rosh HaAyin, and our neighbor, Eitan the bus driver’s son whose mother still had on her arms the numbers the Nazis had burned into her, and our mailman, and all the able-bodied teachers from my school. These were the people who were going to save us. Air raids sounded at night and we all ran to the nearest bomb shelters, school was
